3.28
[Chandaka] The Record of the Western Regions says: "The old form Cheni is an error. He was also of the Śākya clan; when the prince went forth from the household, he ordered Chandaka to lead Kaṇṭhaka. Kaṇṭhaka is the name of a horse, properly called Kantheka, translated as 'Ne' (Accepting)." The Sounds and Meanings of the Scriptures says: "Cheni was originally the name of the slave who tended the horse." The Jingming shu says: "Relying on his royal lineage, he slighted the monks. During monastic legal assemblies, he laughed contemptuously, saying: 'Like fallen leaves blown by a whirlwind gathering in one place, what is there to discuss?' After the Buddha passed away, he still did not reform. The Buddha instructed that the brahma-daṇḍa be imposed upon him, meaning silent ostracism. It is also said that it was the penal law of the Brahmā heaven to erect a separate platform: whoever transgressed the rules was made to enter this platform, and none of the Brahmā deities were permitted to speak with him."
